Are they really talking about him defending mark meadows as one of his greatest moments? What an embarrassment Abby is! Talk about him fighting alongside Martin Luther King

[@queenroyaltyrules55]

Exactly!! This man had marched with MLK, etc & this is the only moment she could think of. 🙄😒

[@zazabrown732]

So what?. Even small moments can be great. Your need to sh!t on Abby every day is pathetic and small minded. She was pointing to a moment when Cummings facilitated racial reconciliation, fairness and human goodness which is what people should be remembered fo, not just for grand moments. It's sad that the profound lesson of the example Abby was citing was completely lost on you
